Quote Variable Types
- Resin: Cost per pound of raw material
- Color: Cost per pound for color additives (applied with letdown rate)
- Tape: Cost per foot for tape application
- Reel: Calculated using formula: (Flange × 2) + (Reel Type × Size Multiplier)
Price Tiers
- Multiplier is the final markup factor (e.g., 1.35 = 35% markup)
- Each customer is assigned a tier that determines their pricing
- Higher tier numbers = higher markups for lower-volume customers
